I adopted a kitten from my local animal shelter when he was 3 months old (Now 6 months old). Early on he acted like a typical kitten, very active and energetic, ate well and was very playful. He had developed a bacterial infection from living outside before being left in front of the shelter. I had him treated by the local vet, antibiotics and eye medicine. During the treatment he started to sleep alot and did not seem as active, although he seemed to still be eating regularly. I attributed that to the medicine. But since the treatment is over, he now sleeps most of the time, not getting up to play, barely checking his food bowl, and seems extremely lethargic. He uses the litter box normally, and does not seem to be outwardly ill, good coat, etc. My husband and I work long hours, therefore he is alone (no other pets at home) all day. I am taking him back to the vet tonight, hope to avoid alot of expensive tests. I treated him with a commercial wormer and he has not been fixed yet. Any thoughts?
